"Yes, Young Master."
Ru'er took over the signboard. The words on it were written in bold strokes. Ever since Yi Yun began cultivating in the way of the sword, his strokes had become like the blade of a sword. They contained the true meaning of Sword Dao, making it unforgettable.
"Young Master, you want to refine pills for someone?"
Although Yi Yun had 800,000 runes previously, he had spent quite a bit to buy the shop. If he used the remaining runes to buy refinement ingredients, he would be strapped for cash. Even if he managed to refine some pills, they might not sell well since he was not famous.
Therefore, Yi Yun decided to put up a signboard to refine pills for someone. This was a business with no capital, so it did not matter if the capital was low.
"That's right." Yi Yun nodded. "The supply of pills in Myriad City cannot meet the demand. As long as the quality of the pills I refine is up to standard, it will slowly become a bustling market."
"But Young Master …" Ru'er hemmed and hawed. She was too embarrassed to continue. According to Yi Yun's signboard, the first refinement of pills would be free. The subsequent prices would be about the same as the Heaven Bestowing Clinic's. Would there be any customers?
In fact, Ru'er did not know how good Yi Yun's alchemy was. Even if Yi Yun was very good at alchemy, the business should be cheaper since it had just started.
"Young Master, should we add that if someone's ingredients are destroyed, they will have to pay double the compensation …" Ru'er whispered.
Ru'er said softly. Although Ru'er was innocent by nature, she was sensible. With a reputation like Yi Yun's, it would be pretty good if he was not ridiculed. How could anyone refine pills for him? They had gone to great lengths to gather the alchemical ingredients, so how could they let an unknown alchemist try them out? If the refinement was ruined, it would be a huge loss.
Upon hearing Ru'er's words, Yi Yun laughed.
"Ru'er, I don't mind. Adding that doesn't do me any harm. However, my alchemy skills were inherited from a senior with impressive alchemy skills. It's not cheap."
"My alchemy is different from others. If I am not confident in refining pills, I will not do it. Naturally, there will not be a situation where the ingredients are destroyed."
"I want to succeed every time and refine high quality pills. Those who are willing to believe in me, I will let them receive generous rewards. Those who are not willing to believe in me, they can go wherever they want."
Yi Yun possessed the Purple Crystal Origins, the Heretical God Fire Seed, and the divine alchemist's heritage. Back when he was in the lower realm with the Luo clan, he had been studying the Desolate Heaven technique. Furthermore, in the past year or two, his alchemy and Desolate Heaven technique had improved by leaps and bounds. Under such circumstances, Yi Yun naturally had his pride.
People like Alchemist Huyan were treated like Bodhisattvas by the various major powers. Whether or not he was willing to make a move depended on his mood. Even if he made a move, there was no guarantee that he would succeed.
But when it was Yi Yun's turn, he had to discount the price and compensate for the materials. How could there be such logic? In that case, it would be better to just give him pills for free.
On the path of martial arts, one had to pay the price in order to gain something. This was true for everyone.
Ru'er nodded obediently and hung up the sign.
As soon as the sign was hung up, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it.
"Only one free session. In the future, anyone who wants to refine pills will have to follow the prices set by the three major medicinal clinics?"
"The materials are to be gathered by the customers. There is no compensation if the refinement is ruined?"
Many people were rendered speechless when they saw the conditions on the sign. If the Heaven Bestowing Clinic had posted it, no one would have dared to say a word. In fact, a super store like the Heaven Bestowing Clinic would set such conditions. Customers had to accept it. If they ruined the refinement, it would be their bad luck.
However, for Yun Xin Loft to post such conditions, it was a joke.
As such, not a single person entered the store to request Yi Yun's refinement. Who would risk the materials they had painstakingly gathered? If they were to really do so, they would probably become the laughingstock of Myriad City.
Yi Yun did not care about the reactions of the people around him. He took out the divine alchemist's brush and continued studying it.
He was in no hurry to make a move. If no one came to refine pills for him, he would study alchemy and the Desolate Heaven technique. There was no end to learning. All of this was to pave the way for Yi Yun's martial path.
"Ru'er, look at those people outside who are laughing at us. Remember what they look like …"
"Ah? What for? "Ru'er was taken aback.
"Nothing much. It's fine if they don't believe me, but I find it annoying listening to their mockery. In the future, when they ask me to refine pills for them, I'll charge them double the price. I'm a vengeful person," said Yi Yun languidly.
Yi Yun said languidly. Ru'er could only nod. From the young master's tone, he sounded rather confident. He was certain that these people would beg him to refine pills for them in the future. However, with how deserted he was, would anyone really come?
Ru'er waited anxiously but not a single person came in the entire afternoon. Instead, Ru'er memorized the faces of hundreds of warriors. They were all people who had mocked the signboard.
Ru'er was naturally intelligent, so it was not a problem for her to memorize the faces of these people.
Only when night fell did the downtown district's illumination array light up. Not only did the number of people not decrease, it actually increased.
Ru'er looked at the open door in a daze. Just as Ru'er was beginning to feel sleepy, a man dressed in embroidered clothes suddenly stepped into the store. He surveyed the store and said with a smile, "Where's your manager? I'm looking for him to refine pills for me! "
Business had come knocking on his door?
Ru'er was delighted. With such expensive rent, she would die of anxiety if there was no business at all. She wished that her young master would accept a business deal and make a name for himself.
"My young master is upstairs. What medicine would you like to refine? I'll call him down," said Ru'er happily.
At that moment, Yi Yun had already walked down from the second floor. In fact, he had already sensed the person before he entered the store.
Yi Yun leisurely closed the scroll in his hand and looked at the customers in the hall as he walked down the stairs.
"How ironic. I never expected that the first customer of my Yun Xin Loft would be you — Alchemist Huyan!"
"Hahaha! Don't you welcome business that comes knocking on your door? " Following his flamboyant laughter, another man walked into the store. He was none other than Zuoqiu Haoyu!
"I was wondering who would brag so much, wanting to match the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic in terms of price. It was only later that I found out it was you, you little bastard. I was wondering if your spirit was injured and you didn't consume the Soul Restoring Relic in time. As a result, your Soul Sea cracked and you became stupid. You actually opened a medicinal shop near the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic and even wrote such a ridiculous signboard."
Zuoqiu Haoyu's voice was loud and clear. It attracted many people in the downtown area to stop and look over.
"What's the point of having a war of words? In my eyes, you are like a quarreling shrew from the countryside. You go to someone's doorstep to curse because of some grudge. Apart from making others look down on you, what else is there to it?"
Yi Yun's voice was nonchalant. At that moment, many people had gathered to watch the commotion due to Zuoqiu Haoyu and Alchemist Huyan's appearance.
Many people did not know of the conflict between Yi Yun and Zuoqiu Haoyu at the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic. They were puzzled as to why Zuoqiu Haoyu was so impolite with his words.
Alchemist Huyan stroked his chin. The barefooted were not afraid of the barefooted. Yi Yun was an unknown junior, yet he had posted such a silly notice about refining pills. From the point of view of others, Yi Yun was a madman and a fool. He could not be any lower than that.
However, the two of them were people of status. For people of status to mock a fool, it would only increase the fool's reputation. It would only make others look down on them.
"Young Master Haoyu, this is the downtown area. There are too many people watching. It's meaningless to mock him."
"Got it." Zuoqiu Haoyu grunted coldly and turned towards Yi Yun. "Yi Yun, you posted such a silly notice, getting customers to prepare their own refinement ingredients. If they fail, you will not compensate them. Do you know that others spend a great deal of effort just to prepare a single set of herbs? They spend thousands of years, nearly bankrupting themselves in order to gather them. Furthermore, they have pinned all their hopes on them. You plan on using the hopes of others to practice your skills. Have you ever thought about the price they have to pay if they fail?
It's utterly shameless. "Zuoqiu Haoyu's words caused many people to nod their heads. As warriors without the backing of a major faction, it was not easy for them to gather the ingredients. They had to go through a lot of hardship.
Yi Yun knew that Zuoqiu Haoyu had come with ill intentions. He sneered and said, "Zuoqiu Haoyu, since you are spouting so much nonsense, why are you here at my place to refine pills? Is there something wrong with your head?"
"Hehe." A cold glint flashed in Zuoqiu Haoyu's eyes. "What I said does not affect my goal in coming here. Since you are opening a store to refine pills, how can I not support you? I have a pill formula here, and I want you to refine it for me. If you succeed, I'll pay you double the price, but correspondingly, because the ingredients I've prepared are too precious, if you fail, I'll have to pay you double the price! "
"I see." Yi Yun chuckled. He already knew that Zuoqiu Haoyu was here to find fault with him. Clearly, Zuoqiu Haoyu had used an extremely difficult pill formula and extremely precious herbs to scam him. He wanted to make him bankrupt.
Yi Yun never expected that his first business deal would be in such a situation. However, how could he agree to such conditions?
"Are you dreaming? I'll refine the pill for you. If it succeeds, the pill will be yours. I will only take double the refinement fee. If it fails, I will have to pay double the amount of ingredients. These ingredients must be astronomical, right? Would I do a business that is clearly losing money?"
When Yi Yun said that, Ru'er finally understood how wise Yi Yun was to write the signboard. If the signboard had stated that he would have to pay for the ingredients if the refinement failed, Zuoqiu Haoyu would have naturally come to Yi Yun to refine the pill. He could then order Yi Yun around like a free alchemist. Yi Yun would not even have the confidence to bargain.
"Hmph! If you succeed, I don't want the pill. I'll give it to you! I will still pay double the refinement fee. If it fails, you will pay double the amount. Do you dare? "
Zuoqiu Haoyu was throwing caution to the wind. He no longer hid his motives. He did not even want the pill. If he was really here to refine the pill, how could he offer such conditions?
"Pill formula!" Yi Yun waved his hand.
"Alright!" A teasing look flashed in Zuoqiu Haoyu's eyes. He refused to believe that Yi Yun was an alchemist. Alchemy was not that easy to learn. Furthermore, the formula he prepared was ridiculously difficult.
Zuoqiu Haoyu flicked his hand and a scroll flew towards Yi Yun.
